However, in 1784 the inn was razed and The Royal Hotel was built in its place. The original hotel on the site was noted in 1751 as being ancient, and it was thought to have been in use during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). The hotel site has had an interesting history. The work was led by Recclesia’s Heritage Consultant Lee Bilson who has consulted on some of the UK’s most outstanding heritage projects. Recclesia was commissioned to complete heritage consultancy work for Chester Grosvenor Hotel as part of their plans to invest in some exciting changes to their Grade II listed building on Eastgate Street in Chester.
